1. أَلاَ تَستخبرُ العِلْقَ النَّفِيسَا

    ومَنْ أَهدَى لِكِلِّ حَشاً رَسِيسَا

    Will you not inquire of the precious treasure,

    and him who gave every heart a lingering pang of love,

  2. ومن سُمِّي بعيسَى وَهْو مِمَّنْ

    أمَاتَ من النُّفُوسِ بِضدِّ عِيسَى

    and the one named Isa, who is among those

    who put souls to death, unlike Jesus?

  3. عَزَاهُ فَصَارَ مِمَّنْ

    يَبِيعُ القَنْد يَجتلِبُ الفُلُوسَا

    He ascribed it, and so became one of those

    who sell sugar candy, bringing in copper coins.
